What is the pricing style?
When a customer & a seller can perspectively buy-sell their products at last price, discount price, lower price, purchasing price and even with today’s offer classification is called pricing style. You can know better in the section below.
What is the last price?
When a seller can’t provide any single penny discount and the price is fixed though you are familiar with the seller in terms of relation is called last price. As an example: A seller buys a product at $50 and sells it at $100. That is the last price of that particular product.
What is the discount price?
When a seller sells their products @discount rate is called discount price. For example: A seller buys a product at $50 and sells it at $100 but the seller provides a 20% discount.Then discount price will be $80.
What is the promotional price?
When a seller sells their products at a lower than discount price or he/she promotes their products by giving more discount than a regular discount is called promotional price. It’s basically an extra discount with a discount price. You can boost your sales by giving extra discounts to your customers. For example, A seller buys a product at $50 and sells it at $100 but the seller provides a 30% discount. Then the lower price will be $70
What is the purchasing price?
When a seller sells their products @lowest price that is nearly the price when seller buys the specific product from the manufacturer or from another source. For example: A seller buys a product at $50 and sells it at $100 but the seller provides a 40% discount.Then the almost-purchasing price will be $60. As here he makes profit only $10 it is called sell product @almost purchasing price
What is today’s offer?
When a seller posts their product only for 24 hours by giving a special discount for that particular product is called today’s offer. After 24 hours it will expire.
What is the purchasing style?
With which available method sellers use to sell their product depends on purchasing style files. As we have a lot of options to buy a product from sellers directly such as Shopalian chat box, what’s app, viber, Mobile, SMS, website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Linkedin, Youtube, Tiktok, Product link, Messenger link, Amazon link. But all sellers don't have all methods or are active in all channels. So sellers can select purchasing styles for customers at the time of posting a product. Suppose a seller only takes orders from Facebook, website, Shopalian chat box. But he is not active in other channels. That’s why he will select only 3 channels and customers can understand that without these 3 channels this particular seller won’t sell their product. Although customers call their mobiles, email or SMS this seller won’t respond as it is out of his purchasing style.
